[00:31:11] <c0lo> eds, just letting you know front page Q is empty.

[01:10:49] <Bytram> c0lo: thanks for the warning, but I was already on it. =)
[01:11:16] <c0lo> bytram, so I noted. I hope my warning didn;t cause any harm.
[01:11:32] <Bytram> nah
[01:11:37] <chromas> To small claims court!
[01:15:48] <c0lo> chromas, *that* Q can't be empty. Naked maybe, at the best.

[01:17:28] <Bytram> otoh, I spent over 2 hours reviewing story subs this afternoon... and of those was able to flag 20+ of them that I saw not being a good match for the community. That is time that I could have better spent actually pushing out stories or even relaxing on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. I would ask you to please consider the actual interest a story may have for the community.
[01:18:08] <Bytram> Don't get me wrong... I *do* appreciate the subs!
[01:18:22] <c0lo> bytram, I don't know what is the interest of the community, I only know what is interesting to me.
[01:18:54] <Bytram> I'd just ask using a little more discretion, if you could.
[01:19:10] <Bytram> nod nod
[01:19:19] <c0lo> E.g., based on the number of comments, I suspect the "security" stories may be relegated to "community announcements, just read and get over".
[01:20:24] <Bytram> May I suggest taking a look at which of your story subs actually make it to the front page and use that to inform your choices? Just an idea.
[01:21:03] <c0lo> Real world engineering? Well, my latest journal is proof it's an absolutely cold topic.
[01:22:04] <Bytram> And, FWIW, I bad acout 40% on guessing which stories will get a solid response and which ones won't!

[01:22:25] <SedBot> <Bytram> And, FWIW, I get acout 40% on guessing which stories will get a solid response and which ones won't!
[01:23:04] <Bytram> And, FWIW, I get about 40% on guessing which stories will get a solid response and which ones won't!
[01:23:06] <c0lo> bytram, I'm currently sending once a week, maybe seldom than that. And I don't keep a list of what I sent - especially since systemd no longer labels "a submission by c0lo"
[01:23:10] <chromas> Moare salmonella outbreak
[01:23:51] <chromas> Maybe the bot should attribute all subs except or ari & socks' subs :D
[01:24:14] <Bytram> Could be I'm especially sore and tired at the moment and that is clouding my thinking, too.
[01:24:21] <chromas> I wonder if my f key has a borked switch
[01:24:40] <Runaway1956> your bork key has an f?
[01:24:53] <Bytram> lol

[01:28:26] <c0lo> bytram, about 1.5 to 2 years ago, I had an exchange with the editorial team on the "story subs moderation". Now, I understand that's no gonna happen for deprecated PERL development reasons (so that's *not* the point I'm making) but during that discussion the eds team said "subs by bots is fine. Certanly better than nothing"
[01:28:58] <c0lo> "We can deal with the firehose".
[01:29:32] <c0lo> Ok, things changed, I'll keep the latest position in mind, but not gonna offer strong warranties.
[01:31:25] <Bytram> Thanks for understanding things; that was the point I was (trying to) make. Just keep the thought in the back of your mind. That's all I'm asking. =)

[20:31:56] <FatPhil> That definition came from biologists. The same people who will tell you that your nut's not a nut, and your berries aren't berries. Why do you even give such lunatics the time of day?
[20:40:01] <c0lo> croc burger. Tastes like chicken.
[20:49:55] <FatPhil> we had croc steak just last week - there was a mini restaurant festival in town.
[22:27:16] * Runaway1956 wonders if croc steak is any better than alligator
[22:27:30] <Runaway1956> Probably not much difference, if any
[22:27:47] * Runaway1956 didn't become a fan of alligator meat when he tried it
[22:33:42] <chromas> What about crockoduck?
[22:34:33] <FatPhil> had gator 20+ years back, certainly very similar to croc. I have had croc before, there's a pub in cambridge that does lots of exotic meat dishes, and has a fantastic beer selection, so we always visit there when we're in the country.
[22:35:17] <FatPhil> crocoduck tastes just like alligoose
